A day nursery in Prenton for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2025. Open since 2017, with 30 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Wirral

What it is like to attend
Children are extremely happy, well cared for and genuinely excited to attend this nursery. Staff create a safe space where children feel confident to express themselves. Children quickly learn the daily routine and behavioural expectations.
They make good progress in their learning from their starting points. Staff know their key children very well. They follow their interests and take these into account when planning interesting and engaging activities. Children demonstrate high levels of curiosity and resilience as they engage in a wide range of activities. They show confidence in making independent choices from the rich variety of resources available and take responsibility for tidying away when needed.
Children are kind, considerate and demonstrate strong social skills as they play cooperatively. They eagerly welcome others to join in with their activities. From the outset, staff set high expectations for children's behaviour. This contributes to creating a nurturing environment where each child feels valued. Children are respectful of others' personal space and chosen activities, showing awareness of boundaries and a willingness to include others in their play. Children behave well and consistently use language and good manners that they have learned.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support professional development precisely for all staff to further enhance their skills and knowledge n strengthen communication with parents so that all parents understand how they can best support their child's learning at home.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
